How a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help

Hiring a motorcycle accident attorney gives you access to resources, experience, and knowledge of the tactics insurance companies use to deny or reduce valid claims.

Your attorney will help you:

  • Investigate the accident and gather evidence
  • Identify liable parties and insurance coverage
  • Value your claim accurately, including medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage
  • Negotiate a fair settlement
  • Litigate aggressively if your case goes to court

Determining Liability After a Motorcycle Crash

To win your case, we must prove another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This includes showing:

  1. Duty of care: The other driver had a legal responsibility to drive safely
  2. Breach of duty: They acted negligently or violated traffic laws
  3. Causation: Their actions directly caused the accident
  4. Damages: You suffered measurable losses from your injuries

What’s My Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?

Several factors influence the value of your claim:

  • Severity of injuries and medical treatment needed
  • Loss of income and long-term impact on your earning potential
  • Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
  • Property damage, including your bike and riding gear
  • Insurance policy limits of the at-fault driver

We’ll help you build a strong case to pursue full and fair compensation.


Will My Case Go to Court?

Most motorcycle accident claims settle out of court, but if negotiations stall or the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we’re prepared to take your case to trial. Filing a lawsuit can often push insurers to settle more quickly and fairly.


What Happens After a Settlement or Verdict?

Once your case is resolved:

  1. The insurance company sends your compensation to our office
  2. We deduct our legal fees (only if we win) and pay any medical liens
  3. You receive the remainder of your settlement or verdict

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Motorcycle accident victims may be eligible to recover damages for:

  • Medical Expenses (hospitalization, surgery, rehab, prescriptions)
  • Future Medical Care (chronic care, therapy, home modifications)
  • Lost Wages & Future Earnings
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Mental Anguish
  • Loss of Consortium
  • Reduced Quality of Life
  • Property Damage (bike, helmet, gear)

Your case value depends on factors such as injury severity, time away from work, and long-term recovery prospects.


Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcyclists are 28% more likely to suffer fatal injuries than car occupants. Even with a helmet, injuries can be catastrophic:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal Cord Damage & Paralysis
  • Fractures (arms, wrists, legs, pelvis)
  • Road Rash & Scarring
  • Burns from fires or ruptured fuel tanks
  • Internal Bleeding or Organ Damage

Fighting the Insurance Company

After a crash, insurance companies often try to:

  • Deny or devalue your claim
  • Get you to give a recorded statement
  • Push a lowball settlement offer

Don’t accept any offer or sign anything until you’ve spoken to a motorcycle accident lawyer. Once you settle, you lose the right to seek more compensation—even if your condition worsens.

We handle all insurance negotiations to protect your rights and pursue maximum compensation.


Time Limits: Act Quickly

Under New York’s statute of limitations, you typically have:

  • 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim
  • 2 years to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a deceased loved one

Don’t wait. Evidence fades and deadlines matter. Missing them could mean losing your right to compensation.


What to Expect From Your Claim

1. Proving Liability

We investigate your crash to show:

  • The driver owed you a duty of care
  • They breached that duty (e.g., speeding, distraction)
  • Their actions caused your accident and injuries

2. Calculating Damages

We evaluate:

  • Current & future medical bills
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
  • Emotional and physical impact

3. Negotiation & Litigation

Most cases settle out of court. If needed, we’ll take your case to trial—and win.
